For the School of Fish album, see The human cannonball is a Circus act in which an individual is launched into the air by a powerful spring or compressed air. Human cannonballs have reached up to 60 miles per hour. The human cannonball will land on a horizontal net, the placement of which is determined by Classical Mechanics . The sound and smoke of the shot may actually be produced by an Explosion (of a Gunpowder or other charge), but this is separate from the launching of the person, and purely for effect. According to the documentary Human Cannonball by The Discovery Channel , it is estimated that of the 52 humans who have attempted this, 30 have died. EXTERNAL LINKS |
